coolcat467 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 As long it makes racket i'm happy. I just try to match up the max watts on the amp with the one on the speaker. The tweaters i hook up i just buy the cheap ones and if they blow by some more. That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard. First of all, you shouldn't be on this forum because all of your posts that I have read are absolutely retarded. Secondly, learn how to spell. Where it says your ride, you have "93 civc" and it's "tweeters" by the way. And last, some people take pride in whatever it is that pertains to their car. I know I would much rather do my audio set-up right the first time than having to buy crapty parts over and over again because they keep blowing. How old are you by the way?

Kastigir Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Actually it's best to match up the RMS rating than the peak. Select an RMS rating 10-15% over your speaker RMS rating to compensate for loss in the wiring itself. Also, if you use a sealed enclosure, you can pump up the wattage a little bit more.

lil.honda.man Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Right, i mean i had someone install my crap. i mean at least that way the crap blows, i get new crap. I mean i'm buying sony, not walmart brand. Maybe someon needs to know more before they speak. I'm not worried about my grammer either. I've never passed english anyways.

coolcat467 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Sony makes some of the worst speakers available. If you want fairly good stuff for not a lot of money, look into Pioneer. xer0, I don't hate you. We had a good conversation awhile back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris 32 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 You seem like you know your stuff so i have a question... I am looking to add more bass to my car (a 99 accord sedan ex) and i figgure i will just add either 2 ten in or 2 12 in subs in the trunk. I am planning on getting a new head unit as i have heard that that greatly improves the sound. Would you suggest that i replace the stock speakers throughout the car as well because i think that they sound good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90IntegraC1 Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 Well, I don't know what the Accord comes with stock....Bose, Infinity, and Harmon Kardon are very hard to replace b/c you'll have to re-wire the entire system from the headunit....but you might just be able so swap everything like I did. Headunit: Look into Alpine, Kenwood, Eclipse, or even Sony.....I love my new Sony Headunit, it puts out some of the crispist sound I've ever heard, and remember, I work on Mercedes all day long, and they come with Harmon Kardon systems Replacement Speakers: MB Quart, Eclipse (my favorite), Pioneer Gold, JL, Rockford Fosgate, Infinity, or Alpine... Sub-2 10's should be fine w/ a nice Amp: Rockford Fosgate, JL, Sony isn't horrible, etc.... Amp-your preference. i didn't want a lot of bass, so i got a 250W amp, and I love it. Box-ported=more bass, enclosed=less bass wiring-scoche or rockford fosgate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolcat467 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 crispist sound Lol. Anyway anything sony is good except for their speakers. Dan had some very good suggestions. JVC makes good headunits as well. I love mine. I'm not sure but I believe stinger wire is less than rockford fosgate and stinger is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want the 6 cd changer to work then you have to find a headunit with 2 sets of rca inputs. One set for the cd changer and the other set for the amp (if you want subs).

coolcat467 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Well usually only the higher end ones come with 2 rca inputs. Look to spend anywhere from $300 to $400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolcat467 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Here is a headunit with 3 sets of preamp outputs (rca). It's an alpine and it has an amazing price tag too. Click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing is i feel more comfortable getting my electronics from a store like best buy or circuit city where i can get warranties from. I will consider this one though, thanks.

coolcat467 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Ok I found a better one on circuit city online. This is a pioneer and it's $229 on sale right now. If I were you I would go with this one. click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box-ported=more bass, enclosed=less bass wiring-scoche or rockford fosgate agree with everything there except the ported/sealed thing. it doesnt give more bass, ported has a more of a BOOM to it, whereas sealed will give you a clean hitting sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airjordan223 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 yeah those are both really good. my friend just got a 10" JL w3 in a sealed box for his scion TC and it sounds really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend has also overheated his amp many times but he bought a warranty from circuit city where he had it installed and has been getting them replaced for free every time.

90IntegraC1 Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 yeah didn't know how to explain it....i know it's not "more" bass, but it's just like BOOMSHAKALAKA everywhere when it's ported and I hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
